Alces Flight: Supercomputing by Subscription – Redefining HPC/AI Ownership

Unlock the Full Potential of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with On-Demand Scalability and Simplified Deployment.

Alces Flight is pleased to introduce a new way to access HPC and AI resources: Supercomputing by Subscription. Designed to revolutionise the deployment, allocation, and optimisation of High-Performance Computing and resources, this platform simplifies building and maintaining technical computing systems.  Bring your own existing system, build a new HPC/AI estate or deploy new project resources all under one (virtual) roof.  Supercomputing by Subscription offers a user-friendly experience for handling even the most complex computing needs. 

A Unified Platform for HPC/AI Deployment

At the heart of Supercomputing by Subscription is a unified interface that consolidates the entire HPC estate, whether public or private cloud, fully on-premises, or a combination of both, into a single, manageable system. This platform provides estate managers with control over resource sharing, billing, budgeting, and resource utilisation, allowing organisations to monitor and manage their HPC assets efficiently.

Supercomputing by subscription is wholly vendor-agnostic in design, allowing resources to be easily integrated. For team members, a subscription simplifies access to HPC/AI resources with quick-start virtual clusters, allowing users to rapidly launch popular workloads without the need for complex configuration.  Best of all, having a subscription means no lock-in; you can change your HPC/AI estate to suit your needs for the amount of time that benefits you.

Simple Budgeting and Resource Allocation

Supercomputing by subscription provides clear monthly costs, helping organisations budget more effectively. With advanced tools for resource allocation, you can control how HPC/AI resources are distributed among different departments, projects, and teams. Allow team leaders to set usage limits, assign priorities, and track expenses with full transparency for members of their own group. 

Key to this subscription is the ability to create partitions in your HPC/AI resources, giving you the flexibility to allocate resources however you need, whether by team or a project. Estate managers also get real-time insights into resource usage, allowing them to stay on top of consumption trends and adjust as needed.

Gain Insights and Add Flexibility

Thanks to years of industry experience we’ve been able to build a subscription service that not only simplifies HPC/AI estate management, it also offers insights into carbon impact and system utilisation trends.  Make changes and improvements, track your history, and keep a continuous system of evolution in technology, all in one location.

Our subscription is a single monthly cost with no hidden fees.  Seeking flexibility?  We can help lower your costs further, or expand your capabilities.  Our subscription grants you access to Tier-1 resources ready to reduce your environmental footprint, build something new, or establish projects on dedicated HPC/AI cloud. Best of all you will know up-front how changes you wish to make will impact your bottom line.

Conclusion

Alces Flight’s Supercomputing by Subscription delivers a refined approach to HPC/AI management, unifying resources into a single, cost-efficient platform. By integrating advanced budgeting tools and collaboration features, this subscription empowers organisations to manage their HPC/AI estates more effectively and sustainably. 

This solution is ideal for organisations looking to optimise their resource management, reduce costs, and improve operational agility while maintaining full control over their HPC infrastructure. Whether improving team productivity, reducing carbon impact, or accelerating research outcomes.
